Property code: OC-HH120

This cheerful property is located in the cosy cosmopolitan district of Mumbles, the gateway to the Gower Peninsula’s coastline with a rich history and spectacular landscapes. Set within a quiet cul-de-sac, this peaceful cottage is perfect for small families and one waggy-tailed friend to sniff out more of what the Welsh coast has to offer.

Leaving your sandy boots and coats at the door, gather your guests in the open-plan living area and get cosy in front of the toasty wood burner, pup in tow. Huge sofas are fabulous for curling up after a long day of trekking, while over in the kitted-out kitchen, your head chef will like taking to the stove and serving up hearty dishes, with titbits for Rover. Wake up surrounded by charming decor in the three first floor bedrooms and take yourself downstairs to stick the kettle on. Give your pooch their morning ear rub and play fetch on the patio area dotted with pretty plants, shrubs and trees.

A popular holiday destination all year-round, the Gower Peninsula is more than just a pretty face. Known for being the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956, it''s retained its title for its golden, sandy beaches, wild moorland and dramatic limestone cliffs. Go for walkies along the waymarked pathway to spend a day having a ball with your happy hound. You’ll also find independent boutiques, galleries, restaurants and their renowned first-class ice cream that comes in a variety of mouthwatering flavours. Hikers can pick up the Wales Coast Path here and enjoy scenic walks along the 186-mile stretch, stopping for a picnic as you go.

We would not book through holiday cottages again. The property was not clean when we arrived so we spent time cleaning everything before we could cook a meal. On the 2nd day the shower blew and started smoking whilst my husband was in in- this was not taken seriously by Holiday Cottages - very poor. We had previously stayed in this cottage many timRead morees without any issues- we would only recommend if not booked through Holiday Cottages. Hide

A well equipped convenient cottage with sea views from the kitchen patio and bedroom. Good location within walking distance of local shops and restaurants though the inclines may be difficult for the less able. On street parking very tight due to road width and I wouldnt even attempt the garage. Overall a good value option in a nice area.

Great location in heart of village with access (hilly in parts) to all amenities and the lovely esplanade. Secluded, well-planted garden adds a touch of the exotic and the overlooking balcony is a real suntrap. Inside, the cottage caters for all needs, with the kitchen especially good.
